Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a connector, and more particularly to a connector for differential signal transmission.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Conventionally, there has been proposed a connector for high-speed differential signal transmission, comprised of signal contacts, ground contacts, and a housing which holds the contacts (see Japanese Patent No. 3564555).
- The signal contacts include plus signal contacts and minus signal contacts, each plus signal contact and each minus signal contact forming a pair. The plus signal contact and the minus signal contact, forming each pair, are disposed at adjacent to each other.
- The plus signal contact, the minus signal contact, and the ground contact each include a terminal portion which is inserted through an associated one of through holes of a printed circuit board.
- The terminal portions of the plus signal contacts, the minus signal contacts, and the ground contacts are arranged in three rows. The terminal portions of pairs of plus signal contacts and minus signal contacts are arranged in an upper row, the terminal portions of the ground contacts are arranged in a middle row, and the terminal portions of pairs of plus signal contacts and minus signal contacts are arranged in a lower row. The terminal portions of the plus signal contacts and the minus signal contacts in the upper and lower rows are arranged at substantially the same pitch. The terminal portions of the ground contacts in the middle row are arranged in a manner displaced by half pitch from the terminal portions of the plus signal contacts and the minus signal contacts in the upper and lower rows.
- If the terminal portions of a pair of a plus signal contact and a minus signal contact in the upper row and the terminal portion of a ground contact in the middle row, adjacent to those contacts, are connected by virtual lines, an isosceles triangle with the terminal portion of the ground contact at the apex thereof is formed. Similarly, if the terminal portions of a pair of a plus signal contact and a minus signal contact in the lower row and the terminal portion of a ground contact in the middle row, adjacent to those contacts, are connected by virtual lines, an isosceles triangle with the terminal portion of the ground contact at the apex thereof is formed. One isosceles triangle of the above-mentioned two isosceles triangles is an inverted triangle having the top positioned below, and the other is a triangle having the apex positioned above. These triangles are arranged in an alternating manner in a horizontal direction in a state slightly displaced in a vertical direction.
- The printed circuit board on which the above-mentioned connector for high-speed differential signal transmission is mounted is formed with the through holes in a layout associated with the above-mentioned layout of the terminal portions of the plus signal contacts, the minus signal contacts, and the ground contacts, and is formed with plus signal lines and minus signal lines, which extend to the through holes associated with the terminal portions of the plus signal contacts and the minus signal contacts.
- Each pair of the plus signal line and the minus signal line on the printed circuit board, extend to the respective associated through holes, in parallel to each other, maintaining a certain distance therebetween.
- However, as shown in
FIG. 9 , the distance between the plus and minus signal lines SL′ and SL′ which extend to the associated two throughholes terminal portions 51 d′ and 52 d′ of the plus and minus signal contacts forming a pair in the upper row is slightly increased immediately before the plus and minus signal lines SL′ and SL′ reach the throughholes - Further, the distance between the plus and minus signal lines SL′ and SL′ which extend to the associated through
holes terminal portions holes holes terminal portions hole 21 b associated with aterminal portion 61 d of a ground contact in the middle row. - As described above, the distance between the plus and minus signal lines SL′ and SL′ on the
printed circuit board 21′ is partially increased, whereby a range in which the plus and minus signal lines SL′ and SL′ are not parallel to each other is increased, which makes crosstalk liable to occur between a pair of signal lines SL′ and SL′, and the adjacent other pair of signal lines SL′ and SL′, and also makes it difficult to carry out impedance matching. - The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a connector which is capable of suppressing crosstalk between adjacent different pairs of signal lines on a circuit board, and making it easy to carry out impedance matching.
- To attain the above object, the present invention provides a connector comprising a plurality of pairs of signal contacts, each pair being formed by a first signal contact including a first signal terminal portion which is mounted on a circuit board, and a second signal contact including a second signal terminal portion which is mounted on the circuit board, a plurality of ground contacts including first ground contacts each including bifurcated first ground terminal portions which are mounted on the circuit board in a manner straddling over signal lines formed on the circuit board, and a housing that holds the plurality of pairs of signal contacts, and the plurality of ground contacts, wherein the first and second signal terminal portions of each of predetermined pairs of signal contacts out of the plurality of pairs of signal contacts, and the bifurcated first ground terminal portions of each first ground contact form each of first terminal portion groups, and virtual lines connecting the terminal portions forming each first terminal portion group form a quadrangle.

Virtual line connecting the terminal portions forming each first terming portion group form a quadrangle. Therefore, it is possible to pass each pair of signal lines which extend to two signal through holes on the circuit board which are associated with the terminal portions of the pair of signal contacts, between two through holes for grounding, associated with the first ground terminal portions of the first ground contact. This makes it unnecessary to largely increase the distance between the pair of signal lines immediately before they reach the signal through holes so as to prevent the pair of signal lines from interfering with the through holes for grounding. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the range in which the pair of signal lines on the circuit board are not parallel to each other, and prevent the distance between the pair of signal lines and the through holes for signals for the other adjacent pair of signal lines from being reduced.
- Preferably, the plurality of ground contacts include second ground contacts each including a second ground terminal portion which is mounted on the circuit board, the first and second signal terminal portions of each of the other pairs of signal contacts out of the plurality of pairs of signal contacts, and the second ground terminal portion of each second ground contact forming each of second terminal portion groups, and virtual lines connecting the terminal portions forming each second terminal portion group form a triangle, the first terminal portion groups and the second terminal portion groups being arranged along a predetermined direction in an alternating manner, the first and second signal terminal portions of the first terminal portion groups being arranged along the predetermined direction in a substantially straight line to thereby form one row, the first and second signal terminal portions of the second terminal portion groups being arranged along the predetermined direction in a substantially straight line to form the other row, and the first and second ground terminal portions of the first and second terminal portion groups being arranged along the predetermined direction in a substantially straight line in a manner sandwiched between the one row of the first and second signal terminal portions of the first terminal portion groups and the other row of the first and second signal terminal portions of the second terminal portion groups.
- Preferably, the plurality of ground contacts include second ground contacts each including a second ground terminal portion which is mounted on the circuit board, and the first and second signal terminal portions of each of the other pairs of signal contacts out of the plurality of pairs of signal contacts, and the second ground terminal portion of each second ground contact forming each of second terminal portion groups, and virtual lines connecting the terminal portions forming each second terminal portion group form a triangle, the first terminal portion groups and the second terminal portion groups being arranged along a predetermined direction in an alternating manner, the first and second signal terminal portions of the first terminal portion groups and the second ground terminal portions of the second terminal portion groups being arranged along the predetermined direction in a substantially straight line, and the first ground terminal portions of the first terminal portion groups, and the first and second signal terminal portions of the second terminal portion groups being arranged along the predetermined direction in a substantially straight line.
- According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress crosstalk between the adjacent different pairs of signal lines on the circuit board, and make it easy to carry out impedance matching.
